Udam Dewaraja

Visual Messaging has become a hot topic in the computer science world these days, but the concept of communication using visual symbols dates back to the early days of mankind. Visual Messenger is a project that investigates the possibility of breaking language barriers by using a universal set of symbols. This presentation will provide an overview of Visual Messaging, the uses of chat programs as a method of communication and how various methods of logging can be used to analyze usage and effectively of the client. I will also provide insight to the internals of the project and the customized client-server model that was built for this project, developing applications for the IPaQ platform, as well as talk about the future of Visual Messaging.
